Until 30 June the UAB Science and Technology Library (BCT) will display an exhibition entitled "¡Bienvenido, Mr. Palomares! : radiografías fenomenológicas y filogenéticas de la nuclearización española: crónica sobre el blanqueamiento del fetichismo nuclear", created by student Adrián Camarós as part of his work placement module of the official master's degree in History of Science: Science, History and Society, under the guidance of Montserrat Monge (BCT) and Jaume Sastre-Juan (Institute of History of Science, IHC).
The academic work and exhibition highlights the Jordi Bigues - Fons Palomares Archives, available online through the UAB's DDD deposit. This archive was leased by Jordi Bigues himself in 2016. The journalist and activist coordinated as member of the board of directors of Greenpeace Spain the campaign in favour of the neighbours of the town of Palomares, Almeria, right before the indemnity period for the victims of the nuclear accident in 1966 was about to expire.
